Self-Esteem

“Self-esteem is the immune system of consciousness.” — Nathaniel Branden

Nathaniel Branden recognized years ago that the level of our self-esteem is a profound determinant of our life experiences.

Self-esteem is the experience of feeling and knowing that we are competent to live and worthy of living and being happy.

Self-esteem is one of our most basic psychological needs.

The degree of our self-esteem impacts every major aspect of our lives. It has a huge effect on our thinking, emotions, values, choices, and goals.

A lack in self-esteem contributes to virtually all psychological problems.

Of all the judgments we pass, none is as important as the one we pass on ourselves.

Positive self-esteem is a major requirement for a fulfilling life.
